"I wish there was a 10 star option! I cannot speak highly enough of Nate and how amazing our wedding day was! We have friends that we've known since high school, spent countless spring breaks, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and holidays with, and so many of them came up to us and told us it was the most fun night of their lives! I know a huge part of that was Nate and how much fun he made our wedding. I have never had so much fun in my life and all of our guests still have not stopped telling us how amazing it was. I can't thank you enough for making our wedding the blast that it was! PS I was suuuuper picky and specific about songs and timing, even giving Nate minute and second marks of songs when I wanted something to happen and he nailed all of it!"

"Amplify is the best choice we have ever made. Nate made our wedding. People were up and dancing the whole night and 2 of them had casts on! They can't stop talking about "the best DJ ever!" Nate had every type of music you could imagine right down to all of our Queen songs and the string quartet Star Trek theme I walked the aisle to. He's affordable and very talented. Your Tallahassee wedding will be seriously lacking if you don't go with Amplify."

Janna + Matt

"Working with Amplify Entertainment and DJ Nate was one of the easiest parts of my wedding planning process! They are extremely accessible and accommodating. Amazing! The planning process was so simple and stress free. As if that wasn't enough, the music was FANTASTIC! Everyone at the wedding danced and Nate did an unbelievable job of reading the energy of the crowd. He adapted as the event needed and kept the night moving flawlessly. Every step of the music process was easy, well organized and Nate was enthusiastic about making sure that the wedding was as my finance and I had envisioned. No one tried to push the sale and they even provided extra mics and speakers for our live music at our ceremony. This is a wonderful company and I can’t wait til the next big event to have DJ Nate play for us!"

"We wanted to let you know what a wonderful job Jake did DJ-ing our wedding. He was awesome and not only did he keep the party going, but he remained in communication with John and me the entire night to make sure things were going as smoothly as possible. All of our guests had nothing but glowing things to say about the music and what a wonderful party it was. Jake was flexible with last minute changes in our plan and was very professional. John and I did not have the easiest wedding planning process with the change in management at Wakulla Springs in November, but we both agreed that every time we interacted with you, our experience was fun, professional, and made us even more excited about our wedding. We wish every wedding professional we worked with were as wonderful as you all. All this is to say, thank you. Thank you and Jake for contributing to making our wedding the best day ever."

Bekkah + John

"Oh my goodness, where do I begin? Amplify Entertainment is AMAZING!! Nate was an amazing person to work with and an amazing DJ! He made the night. He has done tons of weddings but still made me feel like my wedding was the only one he has ever done. It was so personal!! LOVE amplify entertainment!"

Madison + Justin

"Nate Long and Amplify Entertainment were the HIT of our wedding! We absolutely loved working with such a fun, organized, professional and talented DJ. We had a wide spread of ages among our attendees yet he managed to gain rave reviews from even the oldest of attendants. My mother, who was pro-band for the wedding, could not stop gushing over what a classy and fun DJ we had. Our bridesmaids and groomsmen didn't want Amplify Entertainment to leave at the end of the night. They were absolutely imperative to our big day! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone celebrating something special! They are simply the best!"

Becca & Aaron

"Nate with Amplify Entertainment is awesome! We really appreciated the way that he took the time to get to know us before our wedding. He wanted to get a feel for what the demographics would be and what kind of music everyone would want to hear, and he served as a great emcee as well! He kept everyone having fun and had great equipment that allowed him to work with our live ceremony musicians so that they only had to bring their guitar and simply plug into his speakers. He was so much fun and everyone loved him! He also had worked with all of our other vendors before, so he was acting as a mini wedding coordinator during the reception to make sure everyone was ready for whatever we were doing next. It was a great night!"

Christina & Dave

"I'm so impressed with how Nate handled both the ceremony and reception music at our wedding. There was always tasteful music playing, and I got several compliments on the music list -- which he created with just a few suggestions from me.
He was quick to respond when we did a few things out of order and never once missed a beat. We got the extra lighting and I'm glad that we did - the lights mesmerized our little nephew and kept him from running all over Golden Eagle...well, for the most part.
The music was beautiful and trusting Nate to do the amazing job he did took an incredible weight off of my shoulders. Thanks Nate!"

Sarah & Geoff

"Nate was so easy to work with. We met with him before hiring to talk about our music preferences and idea for the reception. We knew we wanted a mix of songs, and a good part of them from our high school and college years. We gave him our no-play list (he has a pretty good one already in wedding info packet) and our to-play list and just let him go. Beyond that, we let the professional take over. He knows what will get people dancing. Our reception was a blast and Nate kept the dance floor packed! Nate is professional, knowledgable, easy-going and affordable. I highly recommend him for your DJ needs!"

Live Music

Can’t choose between a DJ and live music? Booking both can be very expensive... until now. We now allow you to add a ceremony guitarist or cocktail band to your wedding package, saving you money and avoiding unnecessary hassle.

KidStation

Why should adults have all of the fun? Want to give the kids something to do so their parents can sit back and enjoy the reception? Check out Amplify Entertainment’s KidStation, which offers an all-in-one kids entertainment system that includes movies, a Nintendo Wii U, kids music and/or sing-alongs/karaoke.

Got Questions?

Yes, and we recommend that — when possible — you meet face-to-face with each of your vendors. If an in-person meeting is not possible because you’re currently living out of town, we can arrange for a video conference call. Contact us and we can schedule a time that is convenient for you.

Each of our clients is unique and we’re big on making sure their weddings are personalized to a T! We’ll work with you to ensure that the music at your wedding matches your favorite music styles with the needs and wants of your guests.

The Unity Candle is a tradition we see at a lot of the wedding ceremonies we perform. Basically the way it works is that a representative (usually one or both parents) bring a lit candle together to a non-lit candle. Together, they light the new candle and once lit, blow […]

The brother sister dance is an alternative to the father-bride dance or the mother-son dance when a parent has passed away or no longer a part of their child’s life. Rather than forgo a dance altogether, a bride or groom can dance with a brother or sister. What’s great about […]

I once DJed a wedding where the officiant told guests during the wedding ceremony that the unity candle, “comes from popular TV show Survivor.” It was the perfect moment when I could tell who in the crowd was paying attention, because many smiles turned into puzzled faces. This officiant said some […]

A client who loves pop-punk recently asked about some personalized ideas for pop punk first dance wedding songs. We love a good pop punk song and they bring back some fond, fond memories. The trick when developing this list was to find songs that not only could make for a […]

In my opinion, the wedding Do Not Play list is even more important than the Must Play list. What I always tell my clients is to think of the people they’ve invited to their wedding reception and all of the songs they may request of the DJ. Assume they’ll request — one […]
